Getting Around Las Vegas

๐Ÿšถ

Walking the Strip

Best for: Sightseeing between nearby casinos. Looks close but distances deceive - Strip is 4 miles long. Wear comfortable shoes. Pedestrian bridges cross major roads.

๐Ÿ’ก Takes 1.5-2 hours to walk entire Strip - pace yourself!
๐Ÿš•

Taxis & Uber

Best for: Quick trips between distant hotels or to downtown. Uber/Lyft widely available and often cheaper than taxis. Watch for surge pricing during peak times.

๐Ÿ’ก Uber from Strip to Fremont: $15-25 depending on time
๐ŸšŒ

The Deuce Bus

Best for: Budget travel along Strip and to downtown. Double-decker buses run 24/7. $8 for 2-hour pass, $20 for 24 hours. Can get crowded evenings.

๐Ÿ’ก Buy pass on RTC app or from bus driver with exact change
๐Ÿš

Monorail

Best for: Traveling behind Strip properties. Connects 7 stations from SLS to MGM Grand. Fast but doesn't cover whole Strip. $5 single ride, $15 day pass.

๐Ÿ’ก Only runs east side of Strip - need transport for west side casinos
๐Ÿš—

Rental Car

Best for: Visiting Red Rock, Hoover Dam, or Grand Canyon. Not needed for Strip itself (parking fees add up). Compare airport vs off-Strip rental locations.

๐Ÿ’ก Most casinos charge $10-20/day for self-parking now
โœˆ๏ธ

Airport Transfer

From McCarran: 10 mins to Strip. Taxi fixed $23-27 to most Strip hotels. Uber $15-30. Airport shuttles cheapest ($10) but slow. Most hotels have free shuttles.

๐Ÿ’ก Skip airport rental car desks - use off-airport locations for better rates
